These chewy oatmeal raisin cookies are the perfect homemade treat, combining hearty oats, sweet raisins, and warm spices for a nostalgic and comforting dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon (5g) baking soda
- 1 teaspoon (2g) cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon (2g) salt
- 3 cups (240g) old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup (150g) raisins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in old-fashioned oats and raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra chewy cookies, slightly underbake them and let them finish setting on the baking sheet. Soak raisins in warm water for 10 minutes if they seem dry.
